I will eat green eggs and pepper,
I’ll even eat them with a leper.
I will eat them with the meek,
I will eat them with a Greek;
I will eat them with a whore
Who pours out perfume on the floor.
I will eat them with a stranger,
But not a temple money-changer.
I will not eat them with a slacker,
Or he who calls his brother “Raqa.”
I will not eat with Pharisees,
Or those who thank God on their knees
That they are not as other men…
The Kids in the Hall did a sketch once called The Bible, by Dr. Suess. One of the funniest things I ever did see. Course I don’t remember any of the lines, so I can’t share.
From the Cross our saviour’s wavin’
while our souls he is a-savin’!
Here comes his mother weeping sadly
and Magdalane, who loves him madly.
He’ll be remembered for his good deeds
but right now he bleed bleeds bleeds!
Still now cripples he is curin’
cause he’s on the Shroud of Turin!
My opinion couldn’t be higher
of our dear old, sweet - he washed their feet! he can’t be beat - our Messiah!
Some Jews, His disciples, liked Jesus a lot
But the Pharisees up in the temple did not.
These guys hated Jesus, they called him a liar
For telling them He was their king and messiah.
They wanted him gone, so they pulled out the stops
And, bearing false witness, they went to the cops.
The Romans caught Christ when they staked out a park
Disciple betrayed him: 'twas Judas, the narc.
But Pilate just wanted to let Jesus be.
The Jews asked instead, “set a murderer free.”
A cross was then built out of wood for J. Christ
As a carpenter’s son, he offered advice.
And when they had finished the cross up just right
With nails, hooks and wire, they stuck Him on tight.
With thorns on his head and a spear in his side
He hanged there a few days and then sort of died.
He was stuffed in a cave, all wrapped up in a frock
And the cave sealed up tight with a cave-sealing rock.
But the Christians weren’t sad when the cave opened up
The Jews were confused, went to see what was up.
Well, this cave had no Jesus, no Tom, Dick, nor Harry
It couldn’t be so, but it was empty. Very.
They hadn’t stopped Jesus from coming. He came.
Three days or so later, he came just the same.
The Jews stood, their Jew feet in sand all unkempt
Puzzling and puzzling, “well, I’ll be verklempt.”
“He left not by camel. He left not by ass.
He had no internal combustion nor gas.”
They puzzled three hours till their puzzlers were sore
Then the Jews thought of something they hadn’t before
“Maybe Christians,” they thought, "shouldn’t just be ignored.
“There’s few of them now, but some day there’ll be more.”
And what happened next? Saul of Tarsus would say,
Whilst out killing Christians one bright summer day
The voice of God spoke from the sky, saying, “Hey!
Stop killing them Christians. It bugs me. M’kay?”
Then Saul (known as Paul), he began, it would seem
To convert all the Romans (good to have on your team)
He converted the Gentile, not only the Jew
And soon they were much more than ten men plus two.
And now that their cult didn’t seem quite so small
They pillaged and plundered and converted them all.
They burned witches and heathens, any one they could get.
And Christ, He himself, will come back for you yet.
OF COURSE you should be hearing eminem (or someone just like him) since the Seuss Man was THE ORIGINAL Rap Mastah!!! ALL up in that!! uh HUH uh HUH!!!
I will not eat them in a BOX
I will not eat them with a FOX
Come on, people, that be righteous!
